- Tophillious, on 05/14/2008, -3/+262"14. Long descriptions of items on Marketplace can be scrolled using right stick."
It probably sounds stupid, but waiting for the descriptions to automatically scroll was driving me mad >:( - dionahwai, on 06/15/2009, -24/+163This is update adds MANY often request features as well as some useful surprises. I couldn't be more exited for its release which will hopefully be within the next week or two. I'm sure Major Nelson will make it official in the very near future anyway. Hats off to the Xbox team for vastly improving what is already the best online service on any console! XBL FTW!!!
- DreamVsPs2, on 05/14/2008, -14/+107Looking good. Still missing 16:10 support.
- MalkyMalc, on 05/14/2008, -13/+92I'm quite happy with my non-motion sensing controller, and I'm not looking forward to every second game having some contrived look-maw-we-done-programmed-the-motion-sensing feature.

- Skywise, on 05/14/2008, -5/+42How about a friggin' web service to transfer licenses of XBoxLive games from one console to another.. y'know... like when your 360 DIES?!?!
- Talus, on 05/14/2008, -2/+37Scroll through description text with right stick .. FINALLY!
I also hope that the Xbox Live Vision and mic support for Live Messenger are true too! - bagofbeef, on 05/14/2008, -1/+35Please let there be .mkv support....

I grant that the first party Nintendo titles are awesome as usual, but everything else blows.
- aladrin, on 05/14/2008, -3/+29I'm guessing people that dugg you down don't have a PS3, or they'd know exactly what you're talking about. There's a reason that GTA4 has sixaxis off by default.
- KingGoonie, on 05/14/2008, -3/+27Not stupid, I felt the exact same way.
Also think, not sure if its added, that we should be able to preview themes and pictures before viewing them... unless there is a way to do that I don't know about. i mean when you go to a picture pack, have the pictuers you get there, not in no tiny thumb if thats what they have at the tiny corner on top of screen (And my TV is 56inches diagonal and its tiny) But big enough so you can clearly see each picture, fill the box with the pictures instead of the descriptions... they are worth 1,000 words... same thing for themes. This has caused me to not purchase them at times. - nickj6282, on 05/14/2008, -0/+23This list is great. It addresses most of my concerns with the 360. The one glaring item that's missing from this update is 16:10 display support.
- Sabredog, on 05/14/2008, -0/+20I just didn't want people knowing I had played Vampire Rain.
- hasslinthehoff, on 05/14/2008, -0/+19Being able to block diaper snipers and annoying tweenies who sing on Live for entire sessions would be nice...
- yugiohdan6, on 05/14/2008, -0/+19what about DVI-D and HDMI?
- CollapseControl, on 05/14/2008, -8/+25I really hope that this list would be real, but last update there was a whole list that leaked and pretty much majority of it was false. I mean, I can see a lot of this stuff being in the update, but the biggest one of them all, the Group Chat, I find it hard to believe. But hopefully i'm wrong and this list makes everyone happy.
- SuperVepr308, on 05/14/2008, -0/+16Just mute them and make them an avoided player.
- Wingnut233, on 05/14/2008, -1/+15The only way I could see them implementing it now is by letterboxing the 16:9 signal to fit a 16:10 screen. It might not be the perfect solution, but at least it would give the proper aspect ratio.
- therightclique, on 05/14/2008, -1/+14*Breathe, sir.
- inactive, on 05/14/2008, -5/+19True. If I wanted to flail around like a retard I'd knock the layers of dust off of my Wii and go nuts.
- tomz17, on 05/14/2008, -3/+17Really? It's in the feature list... You can copy unprotected media from a USB device to the proprietary storage. This is new!
(I believe you were probably thinking about protected media content, or signed games) - FFXIfrohike, on 05/14/2008, -0/+14YES! This always annoyed me as well. First noticed it when I was purchasing GH song packs.
- mywhitenoise, on 05/14/2008, -5/+19I have a PS3 and Wii, I can't stand motion controls.
- bjames87, on 05/14/2008, -3/+18I've got a beautiful monitor begging for 1680 x 1050 support........come on Microsoft, quit screwing over your customers. We put up with the red lights, now give something back to us. With all the forum posts out there begging for 16:10 they must have heard us by now.
- crash331, on 05/14/2008, -1/+13Being able to see what you are playing on an Xbox 360? Inconceivable!
- SteelFrog, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1416:9 is most HDTV resolutions (1280x720, 1920x1080, etc.)
16:10 is LCD monitor resolutions (1440x900, 1680x1050, etc.) - inactive, on 05/14/2008, -4/+174 Minor requests
How about something different and simple like changing the back ground on the seperate blades ! Kinda dumb to allow us customize /change the background if it's only the same on every blade !
Also is it too much to ask to get a web browser? I'm kinda ticked that if i don't own a PC i'm screwed route as the PS3 has a linux/browser hell the PSP has one !! The dam Nintendo Wii has one for petes sake !
It's it time to software install browsing capibilities?
I would really love to see other formats and allowed to be played on the 360 and or extract ir put in video to the machine more easily than having to use Transcode360 everytime !!!
DROP REGION CODING/DRM *****
Give CANADA the same content and footage access as the U.S !!! WE ALL ARE AMERICANS ! WE LIVE IN NORTH AMERICA
UNITIED STATES AND CANADA SHARE THE SAME SPACE !! - inactive, on 05/14/2008, -2/+14You bought a Wii but hate motion controls? That's all it's got going for it. *head asplodes*
- pixelate, on 05/14/2008, -1/+13The very idea of Nintendo coming out with a LIST of feature updates like this for the Wii is laughable. That should tell you something.
I already have a fantastic user experience with my 360 and they keep making improvements. If I had a Wii and wasn't interested in Smash Bros. or Mario Kart, it would be collecting dust. It has been a runaway sales success, but everyone I know who has one (lots of people!) don't use it for weeks or months at a time. - BackEnThaWomb, on 05/14/2008, -0/+11now a couple of friends and i can all talk while kicking ass in COD without having to hear the whining...
- Sniper4790, on 05/14/2008, -2/+13I would use so many of these new features! I hope its real.
- oxymoron69, on 05/14/2008, -1/+12I do, and many of my friends do as well....
I think it comes from being a PC gamer originally, you NEED your face right in the action lol - plizard, on 05/14/2008, -0/+11chat preferences
- Sabredog, on 05/14/2008, -0/+11Some debit cards are supported already. I use my Visa Electron debit to buy a lot of stuff from XBL.
- lektroluv, on 05/14/2008, -0/+11Private chat with more than one person will be awesome. Finally I can block out all the kids talking *****, but still talk to my friends.
- CarzorStelatis, on 05/14/2008, -4/+16It can't do 16:10 over those either.
- cawpin, on 05/14/2008, -0/+11The Wii controller uses accelerometers as well as the LEDs. The LEDs are simply for pointing, not motion sensing.
- NCg8r, on 05/14/2008, -1/+12The SixAxis seems to be a giant waste of time and resources on my PS3. It's KINDA cool to fly the chopper in GTA4 using the motion-sensing, but only if you aren't trying to fly to a particular place anytime soon...
- JakeyG14, on 05/14/2008, -1/+10Haha, I bet the guy had his hand on his heart while reading that back to himself.
- matthewkg, on 05/14/2008, -1/+11Yes we want the same content and footage access, but please, we Canadians are NOT Americans in any way, shape or form.
- Speed, on 05/14/2008, -8/+18The Wii controls are a gimmick and the first thing I'd do if the 360 got them would be to disable them.
- inactive, on 05/14/2008, -5/+17Sorry, but you are way off base here. Motion controllers are part of the future of gaming, just like rumble and analog sticks before it. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. It is inevitable.
People do want some games with motion controls, but the Wii only offers that while failing at many other important features of next-gen gaming (realistic graphics, a real online component, voice chat, user friendliness, raw processing power for advanced AI). It also basically force-feeds motion controls on developers, even for games that it is simply not best suited for.
Even if you only took into consideration the fact that is superior to a gamepad for shooters it is worth offering as an accessory on the 360.
Comparing it to the PS3's toss-in accelerometers is also laughable, they did nothing more than Microsoft had done many years ago in the Sidewinder Tilt PC Gamepad. It was a last-ditch "we have motion too" toss-in.
The bottom line is that if they make the controller as an option and some of their major game devs make games for it, it will become the controller for certain games, and that's a good thing. - igotdvds, on 05/14/2008, -1/+13Can someone please post the list, stupid work connection has the link blocked.
- Psythik, on 05/14/2008, -13/+24Why are you getting buried?
It's true, Microsoft is once again screwing over those who use the superior VGA connection. -
